Question
A forest has a population of lynx and a population of mice. Let x represent the number of lynx (in
hundreds) above some level, denoted with 0. So x = -3 corresponds NOT to an absence of lynx, but to a
population that is 300 below the designated level of lynx. Similarly, let y represent the number of mice
(in hundreds) above a level designated by zero. The following system models the two populations over
time:
x= -0.25x + y
y' =
-x+0.25y
Solve the system using the initial conditions x (0) = 0 and y(0) = 1.
x(t) =
y(t) =
